| Abstract |
Purpuradusta minoridens julianjosephi n. ssp. from the Indian Ocean and Bali, Indonesia, differs from the nominate Pacific sister mainly by a pyriform instead of cylindrical shell, a more projecting fossula and thepurple stain of the anterior terminal ridge being restricted to that structure. Its primary banding often forms a peculiar reticulated pattern unique in the genus. |
